Now, many friends want to improve the straightness of their teeth by straightening their teeth. However, after completing the orthodontics**, they are often faced with the question of how to be effective and comprehensive in their oral care. Many people consider using a dental irrigator (also known as a water flosser or scaler) as an oral cleaning tool, but they are concerned that they will not be able to use it without braces. As a dentist, I would like to answer this question based on my clinical experience and share some common questions to help you better understand the relevant knowledge of oral irrigators.
The pictures are all my evaluations).
OneCan I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?
Can I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?I've collected some of the oral care challenges my friends face after wearing braces and would like to share some of my experiences and tips with you.
1. After wearing braces, there will be a small gap between the teeth, which increases the difficulty of oral cleaning.
2. Wearing braces will bring a foreign body sensation to the mouth and put pressure on the gums, which may cause the gums to be more sensitive and cause tooth hypersensitivity.
3. The commonly used braces material is usually made of steel wire, which may cause discomfort, and it is easy to wear the edge of the mouth, which is harmful to the health of the gums.
To address my oral care issues, I consulted with a number of professionals and got their opinions. According to their recommendations,A dental irrigator is an effective tool to clean hard-to-reach areas and reduce the pressure between the braces and your teeth, thus improving oral problems. Some dentists also point out that the quality of the oral irrigator on the face is uneven, which can be harmful if not selected correctly. Therefore, they recommend that when buying a punch, it is necessary to carefully understand the quality and technical level of the product to ensure the health of the mouth.
2. Four benefits of using a dental irrigator for friends who wear braces!
Can I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?As I've mentioned before, both professionals and dentists recommend that people with braces use oral irrigators. There are many reasons for this recommendation, so let's take a look at some of the advantages of oral irrigators
In China, more than 967% of the population has oral health problems. For patients undergoing orthodontics**, their oral tolerance is reduced due to braces, so special attention needs to be paid to comfort when it comes to oral hygiene. Traditional toothbrushes can no longer meet our needs, so oral irrigators have become a widely recommended choice for people who wear braces and ordinary people because it can clean the mouth more effectively.
Benefits:1.Make up for the toothbrush's cleaning blind spots:When we brush our teeth, there are some areas that are easily overlooked, such as the gingival sulcus and roots, even if we feel like we've brushed cleanly. These areas are difficult to clean with a toothbrush. If not cleaned properly, it can lead to a build-up of plaque, which can trigger dental problems. This problem can be solved by using a dental irrigator, which has a delicate flow of water and can easily clear these hard-to-reach places, ensuring that the teeth are cleaned.
Benefits:2.Massage the gums and promote blood circulation in the mouth:When you wear braces, you may sometimes feel sore, swollen and painful gums, and even cause bleeding gums. The use of a dental irrigator can effectively alleviate these symptoms, promote blood circulation in the mouth, and also enhance the self-repair function of periodontal tissues.
Benefits:3.Relieves symptoms of bad breath:If we can't clean our mouth every day, plaque will form, which will cause the embarrassing situation of bad breath. But using a dental irrigator can effectively clean your teeth, not only completely removing plaque, but also making your teeth brighter.
Benefits:Ideal for orthodontic peopleA dental irrigator is a convenient and efficient cleaning tool designed for people who need to straighten their teeth. It can easily clean the spaces between orthodontic devices such as braces and trays, helping to keep the mouth healthy and clean.
3. The three disadvantages of people wearing braces using inferior oral irrigators!
Can I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?Although oral irrigators have many advantages among people who wear braces, some people have learned about cases of dental injuries caused by oral irrigators after using them through online channels, which has led them to question how oral irrigators work. These people want to be able to figure out why oral irrigators can cause tooth injuries while giving people so many benefits.
Many Chinese face oral diseases, but many do not realize the seriousness of these problems. Periodontitis often has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and it is not until the tooth is painful that the disease is at an advanced stage. Be cautious when buying a dental irrigator, as buying blindly can be very risky, as it can be potentially harmful if you are affected by an inferior product and use it for a long time.
Disadvantage 1:Abrasion of tooth enamel,Causes gum recessionIt is often only after experiencing loose, sensitive, or gum problems that people begin to realize that using an unprofessional oral irrigator can cause irritation to the gums. When using a low-quality oral irrigator, the strong stream of water irritates the gums for a long time, which may cause symptoms such as bleeding, redness, swelling, and recession of the gums.
Disadvantage 2:Aggravate underlying oral diseases. Although many people will have some minor dental problems, even if they wear braces, if they use the oral irrigator incorrectly or buy inferior products, it may exacerbate the existing dental problems and even cause the teeth to become more loose and severe.
Disadvantage 3:Chronic tooth injury that is not noticeable for a long time. When you wear braces, your teeth become more fragile and susceptible to damage from external forces due to the presence of retainers. If a low-quality oral irrigator is used, excessive water pressure can cause permanent damage to the teeth. Although these problems are not immediately apparent, it usually takes about half a year for tooth damage to be noticed.
Fourth, reveal the four blacklists of the oral irrigator industry!
Can I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?If braces wearers can choose a high-quality oral irrigator and understand the causes of tooth damage, they can effectively prevent tooth damage. For a more in-depth understanding of the damage that a low-quality oral irrigator can cause to your teeth, you can look at the chart below to see what a dental irrigator can cause to cause tooth breakout or pain.
By looking closely at the chart, we can conclude that the damage caused by the oral irrigator to the teeth is mainly due to the poor quality of the product. In order to avoid being affected by inferior products on the market, I have compiled four common misbehaviors in the oral irrigator industry and am now happy to share them with you to increase your vigilance!
BlacklistOEM is the normConsidering the cheap manufacturing of such products, especially from well-known crossover brands and influencer brands, we should be cautious. These brands lack experience in the oral care sector and do not adequately invest in technical aspects such as tuning motors, water pressure, pulse frequency, etc., and instead rely on design, marketing low prices**, and advertising to mislead consumers.
BlacklistSwipe the list and swipe the listMany well-known toothbrush brands have adopted a variety of advertising strategies and influencer ultra-low-cost live streaming sales to promote and sell their products. They rely on celebrity endorsements and fan buying enthusiasm to boost sales and rankings, creating a false fashion trend.
BlacklistExaggerated propagandaNow you can see many brands that say that your oral irrigator can whiten your teeth in seven days, prevent periodontitis, and give you a lifetime warranty. These claims are all lies, and they say that the lifetime warranty is because their products are not easy to use at all, and they will break when they use them.
BlacklistCrazy cost, low price, nozzle expensiveIn order to increase the sales of their products, some brands have decided to adopt a price reduction strategy and reduce ** to 200 yuan. Some online streamers advertise and sell these products for 59 or 99 yuan. These products are manufactured using cost-reducing manufacturing methods, so they vary in quality and do not meet the oral needs of a variety of different populations.
When we decide to buy a oral irrigator, we must be vigilant to avoid being affected by fraud in the industry. We need to learn to recognize false claims from merchants. Many brands claim that their products are protective of teeth and gums, but may actually cause damage to the teeth. In order to avoid buying low-quality products, we need to have the ability to judge the quality of the products. In order to help you choose a high-quality oral irrigator, I found a review article on the dental forum that included the core indicators of 16 oral irrigators. Based on these indicators, we can better evaluate the performance suitability of the product. I would also like to recommend a few brands that I have used myself and think they are good, and I hope they will be helpful to you.

Fifth, people who wear braces buy itEight tips
Can I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?Yes, below, I will introduce you to eight tips when buying a dental irrigator to help you choose the best product for you. In previous discussions, we have detailed the benefits of oral irrigators, the harm that low-quality products can cause to teeth, and the current problems in the oral irrigator field. Now, let's learn how to choose the right oral irrigator!
1.Look for brands with strong technical strength:When choosing a manufacturer, if you want a high-level technical strength, they will invest a lot of money in product research and development, and repeatedly test and optimize more than 20 core parameters. These parameters include the attenuation of the long-term pulse frequency, the sensitivity of the pressure intensity conversion, the deviation of the effluent gram and the concentration of the effluent, etc., to ensure that the product can be perfectly adapted to a variety of complex oral environments. Conversely, manufacturers that lack the technical strength tend to focus more on promotion, live sales, and celebrity endorsements, and ignore the core parameters that are not directly visible in product performance but are crucial.
2.The number of mode gears is large:The multi-mode products can be selected according to different cleaning needs, for example, when it comes to straightening teeth, different modes can be selected according to the oral condition, such as mild mode or sensitive mode, to meet individual needs. In this way, we can better meet the needs of a variety of people.
3.Large pressure range:Given the diversity of the oral environment of Chinese, please consider the pressure range provided by the model when choosing a dental irrigator, we recommend choosing a model between 40-90psi. This results in a better oral hygiene.
4.There are many types of nozzles and good materials:The nozzles of the oral irrigator should be designed to be diverse to meet the needs of different people. The material of the nozzle should meet food-grade standards, and it is best to maintain a flat and smooth surface. This design ensures the safety and comfort of the oral irrigator.
5.Pulse Injection Method:I recommend using a pulsed oral irrigator because it is softer than an ultrasonic oral irrigator and will not cause you discomfort or damage to your teeth. Although the pulsed oral irrigator may not be as effective as an ultrasonic oral irrigator, it is more comfortable and gentle.
.Buy a water flow with a high degree of finesseOral irrigators use a small jet of water to thoroughly clean the gaps between the teeth. For the best cleaning results, it is recommended to choose a jet with a diameter of 055-0.7mm oral irrigator.
.Don't buy non-professional Internet celebrity brands, cross-border brands, etcThese emerging brands have relatively little experience in technology, and they are more inclined to market their products through advertising and marketing tactics, such as using celebrity endorsements or influencer livestreams, and using their products may increase the risk of dental injuries.
.The after-sales policy is guaranteed:I recommend that when buying a oral irrigator, it is best to choose a product that offers a trial option. There are some oral irrigators that claim to be free, but in reality may not be suitable for personal needs and are difficult to return or exchange. Buying a dental irrigator with good after-sales service can avoid unnecessary costs.
Can I use a dental irrigator if I wear braces?Dentists highly recommend that people with braces, and even the general public, consider using oral irrigators. In order to buy a brand with reliable quality and advanced technology, we should choose a brand that can effectively clean and protect our teeth and gums. In order to avoid blindly following the trend of buying, we need to remember the above eight buying points.
